“Mijn doedel boek”, originally from Germany- “Kritzelbuch” publish by Leminiscaat in the Nederland; it’s made by Frankfur am Main, living artists. Inside are only black and white drawings, and children have to finish them. I find it great in helping to get to know your own personality and see what you have in mind. Super.

You can see water drops all over the page– who is going under the shower?

I should have started my blog with this post. That’s how my interest in the blogging world began.

Some time ago I saw a house of Kellie Smits in a magazine vtwonen. I didn’t know, who she was, so I started my internet search. I was reading, reading, and reading, finding more, and more interesting web pages about design, and about great people behind it.

Little Hands is a Portuguese decor company owned by Leonor Feijó and Marta Belo, producing beautiful wallpaper murals for children.Lonor Feijó, finished her BA in photography in London, but now photography became her hobby and illustration is her passionate work. Marta Belo, is an architect, she teaches drawing lessons, and the rest the time she dedicates to illustration. I think its really nice mix of talents. The wall papers have something from Alice in Wonderland, a bit of Japanese way of drawing, the subtle colours, and lightness, I really like it. Here you can see more images: Little Hands

Does every boy dream about a tree house? My husband told me that! And he didn’t have one, when he was small…but is never to late, isn’t it?He built a tree house to play together with our sons! It’s got sand box under and hidden bridge connecting it with the deck by the house. You have to ring the bell hanged by the stairs to be allowed to enter this little paradise.
